As I write this, I'm watching Mike Lowell hit his second home-run against the Yankees in a hotly contested battle up in Boston. I had a good weekend, thanks for asking. There was socializing, drinking, seeing an old friend, and more. Oh yeah, and Obscure References is trying to put together a national tour. Well, I mean, we've done calculations. So far we contemplated an entire tour (or, as I called it, a "heist") where we pretend our gear was stolen every night (thus cutting down on our costs because we could drive our cars, and not have to rent [...]
[Classic Robosexual. Updated with working mp3 link] This is a pretty easy album to review. Three tracks and no irritating long song names or movements, no maps to the music or divisions within tracks. If you've listened to Growing before, you'll know vaguely what to expect (Here is the Robosexual review of The Soul Of The Rainbow And The Harmony Of Light ), but if you haven't, let me break it down for you. Growing makes a sort of noisy, droney music along the lines of a Windy & Carl with more distortion, or some [...]
relation to music is a strange thing, how it changes for no apparent reason - how, for maybe an entire year, i trawled through all of the prominent mp3blogs, and quite a lot of the littler ones, trying to get something. trying to get something new and, as i think i learned more in retrospect, something of a quick fix. it was almost about riffs and hooks, although not in the conventional sense...it was kind of about gimmicks, i suppose, even when it was very aware of this shallow need for gimmicry, hooks, whatever, it still had its own special [...]
The list is done and I'm sticking to it. There were many albums I would have added if the list were longer. There were also a ton of compilations/reissues that I would have included as well. So here are my extra picks, I'll keep the descriptions short so this post doesn't go on for eternity. Best of the Rest [...]
What it says... These past couple months have been very strange for me, musically. I've been jumping back and forth from indiepop to instrumental post rock, skipping pretty much everything inbetween along the way. I just happen to enjoy the opposite ends of the spectrum more than anything else between them, but it's still funny to think about listening something like Mogwai and then switching right over to a band like Tiger Trap. Anyway, as you know, I've already made an Twee Pop Mix, and I'm still in the middle of a [...]

ok so the tree's a bit blurry at the bottom of this page you should see something that looks like this please take a second and click it as it will help Chris Carder's blog grow a tree... (you can probably just click the banner in this post). well, not a real tree... but, heynounce is a site that let's readers grow the ranking of the blogs, websites, etc., that they list. [...]
It's been a good year for ambient. Considering I only started taking the genre seriously in the last few months, we've had great record after great record, and here's the next one: Growing wowed the crowds at Arthurball this winter and has a new album out entitled Color Wheel . What can you expect? Droning, sure, but also moments of unexpected ferocity and agression that wouldn't be out of place on a post-rock disc - or a heavy metal album. "Cumulusness" sounds fittingly like a (digital) cloud rising skyward, but "Green Pasture" offers a searing, earthbound approach. [...]
